“We're pleased to partner with Fashion X Houston to showcase the talents of emerging designers we have right here in Houston, in addition to highlighting all of the exciting trends for fall from our considerable collection of brands and renowned designers,” said Jennifer Rivera, marketing manager of River Oaks District Houston. “We're looking forward to bringing a few evenings of glamorous runway action to our guests to celebrate the art and craft of fashion.”
